## Summary

The Cheltenham Road Affordable Housing Scheme is an active tender initiated by Corby Borough Council (CBC) with the aim of constructing 18 affordable homes on a greenfield site. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, having a fixed price contract value of £2,700,000. The contract period is from 31 March 2020 to 30 May 2021, and the contract was awarded on 12 June 2020. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and the delivery location is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those with experience in sustainable building practices, as the council seeks a design and build contractor for ultra-low energy homes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability requirements. Competitors should focus on innovative energy-saving solutions and cost-effective construction strategies to meet the project’s environmental objectives.

## Notice

In progressing its agenda to provide more affordable homes for rent within the borough, Corby Borough Council (CBC) has secured a "greenfield" site on the periphery of the town, with subsequent Full Planning Permission (18/00365/REG3 dated 9th April 2019 - Amended 28th May 2019) for a mix of 18 new dwellings. The site came with both physical and ecological constraints, including; traversing main sewers, close proximity to the railway, the presence of Great Crested Newts and other amphibians / reptiles. As such, this project has experienced some delays. Nevertheless, the scheme has been designed around the physical constraints and CBC obtained a License from Natural England to clear the site, which was successfully completed in September 2019. The Council would like to use this development as an opportunity to "pilot" ultra-low energy homes to help tackle environmental concerns and fuel poverty within the Borough. Therefore, the Council now wishes to appoint a competent design & build contractor (ideally with experience of delivering ultra-low energy homes) to complete the detailed technical design and build these dwellings, including all associated works. To this end, it has prepared this single-stage fixed lump sum tender. In order to evaluate the cost benefit of these ultra-low energy homes, all Bidders are required to submit both a Primary Tender (Option 1) for the provision of ultra-low energy homes and a Secondary "alternative" Tender (Option 2) for homes that simply meet the minimum requirements of the current Building Regulations. It will be for Bidders to determine how they reduce the use of energy within their scheme (presumably using a combination of improvements to the building fabric and technology) and the extent of that reduction, while optimising the balance between energy savings and the resulting increases in installation costs.
